About Augmentation + Lift
When many women age, they may lose fullness in their breasts while others may begin to notice excess breast skin. Some women will have both problems that lead to sagging, deflated breasts. If you would like to increase breast volume while also eliminating loose skin, aesthetic plastic surgeon Dr. Andrea Basile can perform a breast augmentation surgery plus a breast lift (mastopexy). This procedure at Basile Plastic Surgery in Naples, FL begins by removing loose skin from the breasts and then placing silicone or saline implants to get to your goal size. Breast surgery with a lift and augmentation addresses multiple concerns, such as size, position, and shape to create younger, perkier-looking breasts. Make an appointment for a consultation with Dr. Basile to go over your unique needs and desires, so he can help you decide if a breast surgery with an augmentation and a lift best fits your goals.

Ideal Candidates
There are several reasons why you may be looking into breast surgery combining a lift with augmentation. It's an ideal choice if you want to significantly rejuvenate your breasts while improving the firmness of your breast skin. You may have developed breast ptosis (sagging) caused by natural aging, pregnancy, or significant weight loss; therefore, you would like to enhance the volume of your breasts — this can all be achieved with an augmentation and lift. Dr. Basile will be able to determine if a lift alone will get your desired outcome or if both a lift and implants are better to attain your goals.
Surgical Technique
A combination breast surgery is commonly done at an accredited surgical facility as an outpatient procedure where you will be sedated with general anesthesia. In most cases, the lift portion of the surgery is done first. The excess skin is eliminated and the soft tissue is smoothed. Dr. Basile will explain the options available for breast implants before your surgery so your implants will be ready for placement. In certain cases, the nipple-areola complex may be moved to match your new breast shape and size.
What to Expect
The recovery timeframe for an augmentation with a lift will be different for every patient; however, you will probably be well enough to get back to your everyday activities in about seven days. You should refrain from exercise and strenuous activities for at least 2 – 6 weeks. There will also be mild to moderate inflammation after your surgery that may last for 2 – 3 weeks. Your implants will settle into their final position after several months where at that time you will be able to see your results.
